Doug,

We're all still waiting for a posting from Digex indicating what steps are
being taken to remedy the poor connection quality on the Baltimore SLIP
lines. Or by no response must we assume that Digex has no plans to fix the
problem? (other than changing the sales literature of course) Has BA been
contacted? Have they been asked to quote for replacing the inadequate SLC?
Have any comments or suggestions been requested from their technical
departments?

Here are two more data points for your survey: I called the 605 dialin,and
got a solid 28.8. My call to the SLIP line is 21.6. It seems that whatever
telco equipment is used on the 605 dialin is able to provide the
"pristine" line quality required for 28.8 operation. As are the other
services and BBS's I call.

Chris
